Maybe my bushes are all farked to. Looks better so ill get over it in time.

I reckon the difference between the factory 17"s to the current 20"s aren't as bad at all considering the difference in rolling diameter. Then again I don't have high expectations in regards to comfort with a fg that has 20"s anyway..

Stu60 New Member 1 Member For: 9y 8m 21d Posted 04/09/15 08:34 AM Share Posted 04/09/15 08:34 AM if you use the web site rimsntires you can check all of the different tyres v rims sizes and what it all meansThe lower the profile the harsher the ride and usually lower cornering speeds due to lack of flexibility in the sidewall which can also increase the incidence of breaking traction looks great but not performance base.
